Note the "unanimously". That's amazing in itself.

Not really amazing. What it shows is that the Dems follow directions from their handlers, even if they have to hold their noses in doing so.

IMO, the "unanimous" vote was due solely to the upcoming elections. Those clowns in the Senate only care about votes.

So what exactly does this mean? That the ACLU can no longer agitate for it's removal?

WOOOHOOOO! THANK YOU VETS!

And...CONGRESS, maybe there is still some American Blood in your veins. But--CONGRESS--you can start to PROVE it by making it so the ACLU can no longer get $900,000.00 in legal fees (as happened in this case!)--for their RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION of the MAJORITY--in a Nation founded to ensure freedom OF religion.

My guess is that it means that they'll try to continue the fight at the federal level. However, because of prior rulings that's a better battleground than CA state court.
